can't connect
 

Using Windows XP Home....went in and went through the steps to add "gnutella" to the firewall to allow it.....rebooted and started LimeWire again. Still just sits their saying connecting.....any other suggestions?

Is XP firewall the only one you have?

* Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

After opening LW, give it a reasonable time to try to connect. Even go to the menu bar File>Connect & give it 15 mins or so to connect.
